How does compression help during the recovery process?

Which product is right for me?

Patients Direct suggests that you consult with your doctor before buying a product because each product is designed to target a specific procedure.

What size is best for me?

Patients Direct suggests that you consult with your doctor when it comes to sizing. Our product sizes are NOT based upon standard clothing sizes, so you must measure your body in order to find your correct size. Please see our sizing charts on how and where to measure your body for the product you selected.

Do you make custom garments if I cannot fit your standard sizes?

One a case-to-case basis we make custom garments. However, custom garments cannot be returned, they are final sale items.

How long should I wear the garment after my surgery?

Physician’s opinions vary in reference to the length of time a patient should wear a garment. The recommended duration is from one to three months. The compression garment should be worn at all times and only removed to shower during the first month of the recovery process.

Would a regular support bra be ok to wear instead of a compression bra?

A regular support bra will not provide the level of uniform compression or support required after a surgical procedure. A compression garment is a medical garment that provides uniform support that reduces swelling, which helps accelerate the recovery process after a postoperative surgery.

Why should I order more than one garment?

We recommend that patients have at least two garments following a postoperative surgery. Having two garments ensures that you always have a clean garment on hand. Patients that have procedures done to their legs must purchase a 1st and 2nd Stage garment for maximum results. A Pull-On or 2nd Stage compression garment is typically worn during the latter period of the recovery process when the patient starts accumulating less fluid.
